who up pushing their boulder

"You are going to be the death of me" me to the degree i chose for myself

so much of being an ok person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things

cancel your plans we’re thinking about the pale blue dot voyager pic tonight

no one ever knows what they're talking about and that's a relief

I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.

Proff: What’s the first step to solving any problem? Class: Don’t panic. Proff: And why is that? Class: Because we know more than we think we do.

I think about that a lot tbh. It didn’t occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.

i want academic validation so badly, and at the same time i keep reminding myself my worth does not lie with my academic successes or failures

“When a friend calls to me from the road / And slows his horse to a meaning walk, / I don’t stand still and look around / On all the hills I haven’t hoed, / And shout from where I am, What is it? / No, not as there is a time to talk.” —Robert Frost

We’re almost two weeks in, and I think I’m doing an ok job of balancing everything. I’ve been able to stay ahead and on track while still finding time to exist as a human outside of law school. As a substantial marker of improvement, I have lots to do yet somehow feel like I’ve got this? Maybe I haven’t killed 3lol after all.

P.S. Both applications got accepted! Doing another moot as well as a full-semester crim practicum !

THEY KEEP ASKING ME IF I WOULD DIE FOR THEM AND I KEEP ASKING WHY THEY WANT ME DEAD

Unpopular opinion: Being intelligent isn’t an excuse for being unkind.

Thanks

worrying is like worshipping the problem

“He says the best way out is always through. / And I agree to that, or in so far / As that I can see no way out but through —/ Leastways for me — and then they'll be convinced.” —Robert Frost

My final year of law school (if I make it to the end) has begun. I have started off strong by taking too many difficult courses and submitting some applications for courses that may end in disappointment. Would it be worth it without the struggle though? Probably, actually….sigh

Fall semester schedule:

- Child Protection Law

- Trial Advocacy

- Appellate Advocacy

- Criminal Procedure

- Evidence I

my trick for getting through grad school is learning to navigate the quadrants with all their nuances

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.
